Ups: HSDPA network. Downs: everything else

An LG Prada successor will be soon out on the market, looking to win the credit that its predecessor has not been capable of achieving. LG KS20 will have to work hard in order to stand out from the large line of touchscreen mobile phones out there.

One great thing about LG KS20 is that it will run on Windows Mobile 6, the most evolved version of this operating system. The device will be slightly larger than the older Prada phone model, but still one of the most compact ones, available at this time. In fact, when it comes to design and sizes, LG KS20 proves to be inferior to the older model, although it brings no radical differences.

It looks just like Prada, but brings a subtle difference with the navigation button. Moreover, the touchscreen is only 2.8 inch large and the memory has been cut down to half, at 128 MB. The display can support a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, also a serious drawback on what the older phone used to bring.

LG KS20 also comes equipped with a 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash, meant to provide captures of an average quality. There is also a second video calling camera included, for placing video calls, as this is a 3G-enabled device.

In fact, the main and probably only upgrade that this model brings over the previous one is the fact that it supports the HSDPA network. This means that it is capable of reaching data connection speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, a performance that has already been surpassed by some devices.

LG KS20 should be available in Europe by the end of the year, with an official announcement with high chances of arriving next week at IFA. The price that this device will come at has not been revealed yet, although it might prove to be quite high, if taking into consideration the device's performances.
